Typically, a resolution of 150 to 300 PPI works well for 4-color process printing. However, for printing technologies that perform color mixing through dithering ( halftone ) rather than through overprinting (virtually all home/office inkjet and laser printers), printer DPI and image PPI have a very different meaning, and this can be misleading.
The use of JPEG is discouraged, since it is a lossy compression format and so will result in a blurry map or diagram. The quality of GIF images is better than JPEG. GIF images allow for the creation of animations. PNG is a lossless, truecolor image format. It is good for all maps and particularly for maps with more than 256 colours.

This commonly, but not always, shows up as a change in the background colour that is obviously visible at a glance. For quick-and-dirty optimization, the opt-png script (found in the littleutils package) can be useful. It automates PNG optimization, utilizing pngcrush and a variant of pngrewrite as underlying engines to achieve results similar ...
